Hello, I have a question regarding the samba architecture in a big subnetted network.
For the example let's say I have 2 subnets dedicated for the servers (10.1.1.0/24 and 10.1.2.0/24) and every computer in the domain are in different subnets (10.2.x.0/24). For load balancing reasons, I want to have a PDC and a BDC in site A (10.1.1.1 and 10.1.1.2) and two BDCs on site B (10.1.2.1 and 10.1.2.2). Half the computer should logon on site A and the other half on site B. In such a network it's impossible to depend on broadcast, so I have setup a WINS server on the PDC. Now the problems : - how does the BDCs in site B discovers the PDC (remote announces ?) ? - how will the workstations know they can logon on the BDCs if they only know the PDC in the WINS ? - to answer the previous question, I can setup a WINS server on the BDCs and configure the workstations with the WINS of the PDC and the WINS of the BDC, but sometimes when I join a machine to the domain, it tries to do it on the BDC and it fails. - an other option is to configure the WINS proxy in the BDCs, but if the PDC fails, the entire domain will fails I hope it's clear enough :-) Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated !
